TO ALL WHMIT MAY CONOERN:

Be it known that I, ORnIN-MonsE, of the city of Rochester, county of Monroe, and State of New York, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Coal-Sonttles and I do hereby declare that the following Vis a full .and exact description thereof, .reference being had'to tbe accompanying drawings, making part of this specification. 1 1 v Y Figure 1 is a'perspective view, showin-g'twoof my-improved sonttles as packed together.

Figure 2, a diagram, showing the nose or discharge-end of the scuttle in the position for'tnrning coal into a stovedoor.

Like letters of reference indicate corresponding parte in both iigures.

` My invention consists in a peculiar formation of -the bonnet'or shield, whereby the scuttles are enabled to pack for transportation and storage, and, whenraised'to the door or ropening of a stove, in-proper position to .discharge coal, the nose stands on a parallel line, or nearly so, with said opening. A

In the accompanying drawings, A indicates the scnttle, which has nothing peculiar in its construction, and Brepresentsthe bonnet or shield, which is placed over the t'op 'of-the front portion, to retain and direct the coal in its discharge. l Y r -V In ordinary scuttles having bonnets, the bonnet, at its rear or widest'part, passes in' a straight vertical line from side to side, thereby covering solarge a portion of the top opening of Vthe scuttle that one cannot beplaced in another for transportation or storage. 4This is shown by the red line at the top in g. 1.` -In ordinary scuttles, valso, thefront -of-'the bonnet projects outward to such a degree that the nose or discharge-spout stands i at right angles, or nearly `so, to the upper and under -incline, in which case,when the nose is inserted in the i vertical door or opening of a stove, the upperportion will project in'and the lower part draw out of the opening, thereby making it diiiicult to discharge the coal without spilling. rlhis is indicated by the red line in fig, 2. I obviate these diioulties by cutting away both the rear and front portions of the bonnetin concave or square'form, c c, iig. A1, and-to sucha degree that the scuttles will pack in the manner indicated in iig. 1, and, when elevated, to discharge the coal at a side opening, the edge of the nose willstand parallel, or nearly so, to

the opening, as indicated in g. 2.

By this means, while the bonnet is as effective as the old device in preventingspilling of the coal, and there is much saving in the cost of manufacture, a much more convenient article is produced for Ygeneral use, and one4 wherethere is no diiiiculty in packing;

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is`l A' coal-seattle, having the bonnet cut away on both sides,.in such a manfer and to such a'degree as zto enable the devices toV pack and to discharge ooal'properly in a side opening, as specified.

In witnessnhereof, I have hereunto signed my name in the presence of two siibscribing witnesses.
